# Hydrovac Services Markham | Metro Hydrovac Toronto URL: https://hydrovactoronto.ca/service-areas/markham/ GTA Dispatch Zone 30-40 min from our yard City of Markham (York Region) # Hydrovac Services in Markham: Fiber Slot Trenching, Daylighting & Subdivision Potholing From Unionville to Cornell By The Metro Hydrovac Toronto Crew [/about/#metro-hydrovac-crew →](/about/#metro-hydrovac-crew) · Last updated: October 4, 2026 180+ Local Projects ZERO Utility Strikes $280+/HR Published Rate 24/7 Sewer & Water Main ▣ Local Dispatch Record Hydrovac services in Markham are mostly about fiber: exposing existing telecom, slot trenching new laterals and potholing subdivision services with water and vacuum instead of a bucket. The **Highway 7** tech corridor is where most of that work happens. The fiber load is still growing. CIK Telecom has signed a municipal master agreement with the city and plans to invest $300 million over 10 years in a fibre-to-the-city network, adding conduit to boulevards that already carry several carriers' cables. Utility contractors file a Municipal Consent application for work in the right-of-way, and every crossing on the route still needs exposing before the trench or bore goes through. **Unionville** is one of four designated Heritage Conservation Districts in the city, with 19th-century homes along **Main Street Unionville**, so we keep the truck footprint small and the dig tight there. Our tech corridor fiber slot trenching job ran four days for $22,800, with every crossing exposed first. Jobs here run on the same owned trucks, Red Seal crews and published CAD rate card as all of our hydrovac services across Toronto and the GTA [/ →](/) .

Expose First LOCAL CONDITION ### New fiber routes crossing crowded telecom boulevards off Highway 7 An HDD or slot trench crew is ready to go, but the route crosses conduit banks from several carriers and the locate marks show position, not depth. Why it happens here: A $300 million fibre-to-the-city build under a municipal master agreement is adding new conduit to boulevards that already carry multiple telecom cables. What we do: Our slot trenching and daylighting crews expose every crossing on the route first, then cut the trench with water and vacuum so existing cables stay intact. SIGN 01 TOLERANCE ZONE ### Your dig sits inside a gas or fiber locate tolerance zone CSA Z247 and the utility owner expect non-destructive exposure before machines move. One bucket strike can run past $50,000 CAD in repairs and fines. SIGN 02 DESIGN RISK ### Your engineer is working from paint marks Locates show position, not depth. Test pits at $800-$2,500 each give real depth and offset numbers before drawings are stamped. SIGN 03 TIGHT ACCESS ### There is no room to swing a backhoe Laneways, garage vaults and tight frontage. The truck parks at the curb and the hose reaches up to 200 ft to the dig. Local Services ## Fiber and Utility Work We Run Most Fiber slot trenching on the Highway 7 tech corridor, daylighting before HDD bores and subdivision potholing in Cornell, Cathedraltown, Angus Glen, Unionville and Markville. ![Two crew members cutting a narrow slot trench along a Markham boulevard with orange conduit ready to lay](/images/misc/narrow-slot-trench-being-cut-with-a-pressure-wand-.webp) $300-$450/HR ### Slot Trenching Slot trenching is narrow non-destructive excavation that uses 3,500 PSI pressurized water and 27 inch Hg vacuum to cut linear trenches between 4 and 8 inches wide for fiber optic lateral runs, electrical conduit, irrigation line installation and utility interconnect work, through congested right-of-ways where open-cut would hit three or four buried services. We run X-Vac X-13 and Vactor 2100i trucks on asphalt saw-cut edges, minimize spoil with controlled recovery into the debris tank, and reinstate the surface to municipal right-of-way permit specification. Every slot goes in past a tracer wire with recorded depth. Fiber optic trenching on the Highway 7 tech corridor, electrical conduit runs through downtown parking garages and conduit runs across municipal easements all handled with Red Seal certified operators. A fiber installer on the Markham tech corridor needed 420 ft of new conduit through a shared right-of-way with Bell, Hydro One, Enbridge and the municipal storm sewer. We exposed every crossing first, then cut the slot trench in four days using the 3,500 PSI wand and recovered spoil continuously. $22,800 CAD invoice held to the rate card. Everytime we do slot work in that corridor, it goes in without a nick.

We work from Subsurface Utility Engineering Quality Level A standards, inside the locate tolerance zone defined by Ontario One Call, and log depth, size and condition for every exposure. The result is a dig that proceeds with real coordinates, not paint marks. We daylight for Enbridge Gas pre-dig, Toronto Hydro vault access, Bell Canada fiber corridor work, HDD and trenchless crossings, and emergency water main depth confirmation under CSA Z247. A telecom GC on the Toronto Port Lands had a dig-in with another crew the week before they called us. We exposed 180 ft of buried fiber in three days using 3,500 PSI and 27 inch Hg vacuum, logged depth every metre, and the ON1Call locator signed off on the first visit. The $18,400 CAD invoice held to the published rate card. Trust us, this is where the first contractor cut a corner.

We run it on Vactor 2100i and Vac-Con V390 trucks for utility potholing, backfill removal around live services, test pits before auger work, and confined space digs where a backhoe cannot fit. Every job starts with an Ontario One Call locate and runs under OHS Reg 213/91 construction protocol plus CSA Z247 ground disturbance standards. Depth, size and material logged with photos at every exposure, with 100% first-visit utility coordination approval across 2,000+ GTA projects. A utility GC on Finch Ave W found that out the easy way. We exposed 14 live gas junctions on their site using the 3,500 PSI wand, logged depth and offset at every one, and the Enbridge inspector signed off on all 14 on the first visit. The whole job came in at $3,200 CAD. Trust us, you're in good hands. Nine times out of ten, this is where the previous contractor cut a corner and left a $50K strike liability on the table.

We work to Toronto Water, Peel Region and Halton Region catch basin program specifications, document every inlet and outlet with before-and-after photographs, and record disposal volumes against MECP waste manifests. Sediment sumps on our Vactor 2100i trucks capture solids before transport so one visit handles the jet, the vacuum and the inspection record. Grease trap cleanouts, storm drain emergency flushing and culvert flushing around CSA concrete pipes all handled in-house with Hannay reel systems and licensed slurry disposal. A municipal procurement officer in Vaughan handed us 42 silted culverts on a Highway 400 shoulder maintenance package. We ran two 6,000-gallon trucks for two days, flushed every inlet and outlet, and delivered a photo log plus Halton Region disposal records before the invoice went out at $14,600 CAD. Every culvert cleared the first visit. Nine times out of ten, this is where the previous contractor left half the job on the record.

We run Vactor 2100i and Super Products Mud Dog trucks with hazmat-trained operators who hold confined space entry tickets and CSA Z247 ground disturbance training. Every load travels under Ontario Regulation 406/19 (Excess Soil Management) with a complete soil characterization package: ASTM D1586 sampling, Table 1-9 analytical results tied to the manifest and a receiving-site acceptance letter in your project file. A Toronto brownfield developer needed 48 cubic metres of petroleum-impacted soil removed from an infill site in East Toronto before Phase II ESA sign-off. We staged a 6,000-gallon Vactor 2100i with a hazmat-trained operator, ran four truck turnovers across two days, delivered every load to a Class 2 MECP-licensed receiving facility with manifest records, and the environmental consultant signed off on the first visit. Invoice came in at $14,800 CAD. Nine times out of ten, this is where a conventional excavator would have left a documentation gap.

We dispatch within 2 hours of the call, mobilize a Vactor 2100i or Vac-Con V390 truck with a Red Seal operator, and run 3,500 PSI water with 27 inch Hg vacuum to expose the cause of loss, dewater the site, and deliver a time-stamped photo log for your insurance adjuster or restoration contractor. Published after-hours rate is $450-$650 CAD per hour with a 4-hour minimum callout. Toronto Water, Peel Region and Halton Region coordination handled, sanitary backup containment managed to Ontario Reg 406/19 slurry disposal standards. An insurance adjuster working a Scarborough plaza sewer backup called us at 11:00 PM in January. Truck was on site in 90 minutes, backup vacuumed, blockage exposed and photographed, and the adjuster had the file by 06:00 the next morning. Six hours of after-hours work, $3,100 CAD invoice, case closed. Trust us, you're in good hands on the overnight shift. Nine times out of ten, that is when the previous contractor could not pick up the phone.

Every rental includes mobilization, standby time, published fuel and disposal rates, and a tank capacity worksheet for your project manager. We quote half-day rates at $1,120-$1,800 CAD, full 8-hour days at $2,240-$3,600 CAD, and full-week project rates at $12,000-$22,000 CAD. All three trucks TSSA pressure vessel compliant, all operators WSIB registered, no subcontractors on your site. Bare rental is not offered because we never put an untrained operator behind the wand. A commercial GC on a four-week downtown foundation project needed a dedicated hydrovac truck and operator from Monday to Friday across the entire schedule. We quoted $18,400 CAD per week for the Vactor 2100i plus the operator, delivered on time every day, and the project finished a full week ahead of the original schedule. Trust us, you're in good hands. It still blows our mind when a job comes in that clean.

We work past frost depth on winter projects using heated water, maintain plumb tolerance on every hole with a laser rig, and manage spoil directly into the debris tank so there is no mess on the slab or landscape. Vac-Con V390 trucks on tight residential lots, Vactor 2100i on commercial foundation work, every hole documented for your foundation footing engineer and compliant with OHS Reg 213/91 construction excavation and CSA Z247 ground disturbance standards. A foundation GC near Pearson Airport had 18 helical pile locations to clear through buried telecom and electrical before the auger crew could start. We prepped every one in a single 10-hour day using the 3,500 PSI wand, logged depth and offset, and the auger rig followed without a single strike. Invoice came in at $9,200 CAD, matching the published day rate exactly. Trust us, this is why the GC called us back for the next three jobs.

We run 27 inch Hg suction with cyclonic filtration and decant systems that separate solids before transport, so one truck can handle a pit, a sump, a lift station and a confined space in the same shift. Every load leaves with a waste manifest to a licensed MECP disposal site, and every TSSA-compliant pressure vessel on our fleet carries current inspection records. Industrial tank cleaning, construction site debris, oil-grit separators and interceptor vaults handled with Red Seal certified operators and confined space entry tickets. A food manufacturer in Mississauga needed their 15,000-gallon brine tank cleaned during a 24-hour maintenance window. We staged two 6,000-gallon trucks, ran four turnover cycles on the sludge dewatering circuit, and had the tank inspection-ready by 06:30 the next morning. Final invoice was $8,400 CAD. Everytime we do these overnight shifts, we treat the clock like a published rate card. It still blows our mind when we finish one of these on schedule.

STEP 01 ### Locate & Permit Check We confirm your Ontario One Call ticket and the municipal road permit, walk the marks and photograph the site before the wand starts. 2. STEP 02 ### Truck Staging & Traffic Control The truck parks to keep the boom short and the hose clear of traffic, with cones and signage set to your traffic plan. 3. STEP 03 ### Pressurized Excavation 3,500 PSI water loosens the soil and 27 inch Hg vacuum lifts it into the tank, so spoil never sits on the boulevard. 4. STEP 04 ### Depth Log & Sign-Off Depth, size, material and offset logged with photos at every exposure, ready for the locator or inspector. 5. STEP 05 ### Licensed Disposal & Handover Slurry goes to a licensed facility with records for your file, and the site is left swept. ## Bore Crew Booked?

We plan slot trench production around lane closures and permits. - **Markham Centre:** mid-rise construction where daylighting before shoring and crane pads is standard. - **Cornell, Cathedraltown and Angus Glen:** new subdivision phases where potholing confirms every service connection before the as-built is signed. - **Unionville and Markville:** Main St Unionville commercial properties and Markville-area plazas with catch basins and storm interceptors on a cleaning cycle. - **Highway 404 corridor:** utility crossings and drainage work near the ramps, planned with traffic control. When an HDD crew is boring, we can stay on standby with a vacuum truck to manage drilling mud, billed at the same hourly band. ### The Infrastructure We Expose Most Buried services here are dominated by telecom. Fiber, copper and conduit banks from several carriers run side by side under the boulevards. - **Fiber optic laterals:** short runs into tech offices off Highway 7. Our 40 m lateral job took one day and the splicer was in the next morning. - **Telecom corridors before HDD:** we expose every crossing on the bore path so the drill never finds a cable by accident. - **Subdivision service connections:** water, sanitary, gas and hydro stubs verified by test pit, with an as-built sheet for the engineer. - **Commercial storm systems:** catch basins and oil-grit separators in Unionville and Markville, cleaned with photo records. - **Alectra Utilities infrastructure:** hydro feeds and vaults where exposures are photographed and logged. Every exposure is photographed and logged for the as-built file.

Field Questions ## Markham Hydrovac FAQs ### Do you slot trench fiber along the Highway 7 tech corridor? Yes. Our tech corridor fiber slot trenching job ran four days for $22,800, with every crossing exposed first. ### Do you pothole for new subdivisions in Cornell and Cathedraltown? Yes. Cornell, Cathedraltown and Angus Glen subdivision phases regularly need potholing to verify service connections, with an as-built sheet for the engineer. ### Can you daylight before an HDD bore? Yes. We expose every crossing on the bore path and can stay on standby with a vacuum truck for drilling mud. ### How far is Markham from your yard? Most sites are 30-40 minutes away via the 404 or the 401 to Highway 7, so scheduled work is usually booked within days. ### Who files the permit for fiber work in the right-of-way? For third-party utility work, the utility or its contractor files a Municipal Consent application with the City of Markham, and most work under an approved consent needs no separate Road Occupancy Permit. We work under your consent and confirm locates before the first cut. ### Do you clean catch basins at Unionville and Markville properties? Yes. Standard catch basins run $600-$1,800 CAD each with before and after photos, and multi-basin sites get program pricing. ### Can you install fiber laterals into existing office buildings? Yes. Short laterals off Highway 7 are usually one-day jobs, with every existing service exposed before the trench crosses it. ### Can you work on Main Street Unionville's heritage blocks? Yes. Unionville is a designated Heritage Conservation District, so we park on the side street, run the remote hose and keep excavations small around 19th-century buildings.
